1. First off, Nnamdi Kanu is back in the headlines again. Protesters have been flooding Abuja streets demanding his release, and the energy outside the court is wild. Police tear gas, people shouting “Free Kanu!”, and social media on fire. Whether you’re fully into politics or not, you can’t scroll two minutes on X and other platforms without seeing these resounding themes.

Meanwhile, on the money side, the government is talking about new loans and bonds worth billions. They’re calling it “reform” to fix the economy, but Nigerians are not buying, their tone is:, “Abeg, will fuel and food prices still rise?” The mood all around is very: “we’ve heard this before”, but at least oil production is picking up. The streets just want to feel it in their pockets, not just hear it in headlines.

Then there’s the digital generation — Gen Zs are not just relating with the wave, they’re protesting with their Wi-Fi. Hashtags like #JusticeForOchanya and random call-outs against bad governance are trending daily, between memes, TikTok skits, and threads, young Nigerians are saying, “We can joke, but we still care.”

So yeah, that’s Naija right now tension in the streets, loans in the news, activism on the timeline, and tense antmosphere everywhere. It’s chaos, it’s creativity, it’s home but somehow, through all the madness, we still laugh, hustle and still tweet “Na God go run am” and that’s our Nigerian spirit: hope, resilience and believe.
